Condolences - Titch any background on the man

Condolences to family and friends. RIP

Thanks titch

Just wanted to bring some color to a really bleak year as far as friends of racing goes.

Doesn't this say something though......where are the younger guys in racing? we are losing the big boys, but we are not replacing them with the younger guard?

We have the young de kock and the van zyl brothers and little azz man, but what about young agents? what about young people who actually know something in Phumelela?

just some food for thought, I don't want to turn this into a discussion.

RIP
